And replace the crank sensor there not expansive just had a similar problem with a corsa I was doing some work on no fault codes stored but crank sensor was knackerd.

What's the point of owning the car then? Should of got it fixed instead of telling you that

Used to run the car, then come to it in the morning after running it at night, and it would struggle slightly to start. Checked everything ignition and sensor wise, no faults found. Same story with the diagbox software, no faults found. Turned out to be a small electrical drain on the battery. Never found the complete source of the electrical drain as I just put up with the struggling to start slightly.
